Why get a valuation?

How it works
Three simple steps from first call to a written valuation, led by a named senior adviser.
1 Scope
A free 15-minute call to agree what the valuation is for and the information we need from you.
2 Value
We analyse your business using the IPEV method and prepare a written valuation report.
3 Explain
We walk you through the findings on a call, within 15 working days.
A free, no-obligation 15-minute call with a senior adviser about your raise. We can talk through SEIS and EIS Advance Assurance, a fundraising readiness review, a business valuation or board support, and tell you honestly what you need, and what you do not. Nothing to prepare in advance.
